Dr. Bradley J. SommerWhen we talk about how billionaires shouldn’t exist I don’t think people really understand the massive difference in scale between a million and a billion. One million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years. It’s an unfathomable amount of money that no one should have. Even uber-rich mega millionaires - hundreds of millions - really shouldn’t exist. We need to tax the rich; they’re the real free loaders. They’re the drains on the economy. They’re the ones dragging society down.
Neil Moffatt@drhistorybrad It is deeply insane. And chillingly evil for the majority.
Capitalism rewards luck and effect via multiplication - if the daughter of a submissions assessor had not taken a copy of Harry Potter home to read and tell daddy it was good she may not have published. I believe 6 turned her down.
She NEVER earned her billions. That was the product of replication and distribution - others working and she creams off effort from all.
